Thursday (Day 13)
Thursday morning I woke up (first again!) to the mad clucking of hens in Katie's backyard, and made my way downstairs for some tea and blogging. When I got to the kitchen I thought to myself that it would be lovely to feed the chickens since it was my last day there, and it's not something I normally get to do. So I went outside and...
...the back gate was open.
Katie has four hens, and only one was still in the yard. She was the timid 'runt' of the bunch, and I'd seen the other hens bullying her for food. I think she was hoping the others wouldn't come back...but I wasn't going to leave them to the wilds of Saffron Walden, and I walked out front looking for the others.
It didn't take long to find two of them pecking around the neighbor's car, and I lured them back to the garden with some chicken feed (note: chickens are super dumb). I could NOT find the fourth though. The largest, 'alpha' hen was still missing. I went back inside, resigned to tell Katie I could only find two of the three when I heard cooing and clucking, very obviously coming from the front garden. So I went back out and peeked into the front hedge, and there she was. Sitting on a little nest she'd made for herself a mere 50 feet from her coup in the backyard. I bullied her into the back and shut the gate...and thus ended my unexpected foray into hen hunting!
|Four hens, collected again. Little miss in the back was the only one nice enough to stick around while the others ventured off.
|A little roost for a rogue chicken.
Fortunately for me, the rest of the morning was much less eventful. Katie had worked a nightshift so we all agreed Matt should drive me to the train station, and in no time I was on my way to my Aunt Margaret's, just a few stops down the train line from Katie. I'd decided to end at her house because my plans got changed so suddenly and I knew it would be easiest to get to the airport from my Aunt's since I could walk to the train station and not disrupt anyone's day. (Hah. More on that later.)
My 'Auntie M' picked me up at the station and we made the short walk to her house - another place I feel totally and completely at home. It's like walking into a living memory every time I go there it's like no time has passed and I pick up with my aunt right where we left off. That said...SO much has happened since I visited two years ago, so we spent a good chunk of the morning catching up, enjoying tea (and biscuits) in the garden.
While she prepared lunch, I set to taking pictures to share with all you lovely people. My aunt will probably be mortified that I'm sharing the VIDEO I made walking through her garden, but I absolutely love her garden no matter what time of year it is, and I wanted to share a little bit of that with you. It truly is one of the most peaceful places I know! Enjoy!

|Runner beans!!
|More runners!

|The living room...on top of the chest is a picture frame that has a collage of pictures of my dad... :')
After lunch I asked my aunt to take me for a walk, which is only kind of a joke. My aunt has retained her youth and vigor, even at 72, by walking a lot. Like, take what you think is a lot and multiply it by 3, then add in some long walking holidays and you'll be about where my aunt is with walking. Every trip over includes walks every day, and one year she and her friends took me on a great walk/hike through Epping Forest that still tops my list of favorite walks because at one point a 65 year old man helped me cross a wide stream after he leapt over it in one bound. Fun times!
|A picture from said walk in Epping Forest, which my aunt keeps in her office/guest room :)
|Before I helped with the locking! When the men at the lock saw I was curious they told me I could help!
We had a classically delicious dinner of bangers and mash...
...and I left a note for my cousin Molly...
...and then we popped to the Snooker club for an evening pint before climbing into bed for the night...
In short...a perfect last day of traveling.
Friday - the trip home
Oh, Friday. Oh oh oh oh OH.
It was a day. A long, loooooong day.
I've mentioned plenty of times on Facebook that it pretty much never rained while I was on my trip, which is unheard of in Europe. I think it rained very early two mornings in Germany, but absolutely nothing that upset any plans.
Well. The rain caught up with me on Friday morning. Very, very early.
It had been warm all week so before bed I threw open the window in my Aunt's guest room for some fresh air, at at 3am awoke to pouring rain coming down outside. I shut the window a tad just in case, but the cool breeze felt nice and it felt cathartic. Like my last day in England gave me rain, as every trip to England should include.
Well. A little later I didn't feel like that.
I wanted to get to the airport at least 3 hours early so I gave myself nearly 5 hours for the trip to the airport. After breakfast my aunt walked me over to the station and as we got closer it looked like there were a lot of people standing outside, to which she commented, "It always worries me when the people who work for the trains are standing outside the station..."
When we were within view of the turnstiles to go to the platforms I realized that every one of them had a bright red "X" displaying that they couldn't be used. The (very nice) woman in a national rail vest told us that there would be NO trains from Harlow Town. None in, none out. There was debris on the tracks.
Because of the rain.
I looked at her and said, "NONE? None at all?!" and she confirmed, to which I responded, "Fuck."
Of course, the one time I relied on the ease of the train journey from my aunt's the fates decided to mess with me.
I asked where I could get a train into London, and the woman said the Epping station was open, so we walked over to the first cab in line and my aunt said, "How much to Epping?" Which I promptly followed up with, "It doesn't even matter, I need to get there no matter how much it costs."
However, if you're wondering: In heavy traffic and rain, adding a stop at a cash point, and with a cabbie who knows the back roads to Epping because his sister lives there...it costs £30.
The cabbie was super nice and put up with my slightly panicked and distracted demeanor as I sent my mom text after text about my super exciting morning and PS-Mom-I-might-have-to-put-a-bunch-of-extra-charges-on-the-NatWest-card...but he got me as close to the station as possible which was a feat given that busloads of people were being transferred there from other stations. It turns out the rain ruined a lot of Friday morning commutes. I made my way into the station and asked the first employee I could find how to get to Heathrow. He told me to change at Holburn for the Piccadilly line to Heathrow.
Alright. Sounded easy enough.
The ride to Holburn was a good 40 minutes, but I made it and hopped off ready to get on the train to LHR. At which point I was thrilled to see this sign...at 9:40am:
|Daniel Radcliff's photobomb face is basically what I looked like when I saw this sign.
I followed the signs to transfer anyways, and when I got to the area blocking the halls to the Piccadilly line one of the tube agents said, "Well you can just hop on this one and transfer here and..." and I cut her off (politely) to say that I would just wait. She was shocked and said, "But it's 20 minutes!" and I was like, 'Yeah...but I KNOW it will get me to Heathrow. My flight is in 3 hours. I'll wait the 20 minutes."
She still seemed shocked, but a lot of people had the same idea as me, and elected to wait (what ended up being only 10 minutes) for the gates to open. I was able to hop on the first train that came through, and another 40 minutes later was at the airport. Here are some pictures for your enjoyment:
|This guy was actually barefoot the entire ride. On and off the train and up and down the escalators...he was also wearing a VERY tight and uncomfortable looking outfit...think a wrestling onesie. And he had no shame. Okay dude, you do you!
|What two hours of slight panic looks like.
|Less panicky now.
By the time I got to Chicago I was ready for landing. I waited and waited at baggage claim and then realized our corral had been switched and easily found my bag and made my way out of the airport...where Anthony greeted me with a kiss and a steak burrito. Both were very, very welcome.
I can't believe I left on this trip almost three months ago. Everything leading up to it was crazy, the days I traveled between continents was stressful and aggravating...but the time with my family and friends was absolutely worth it. I never know when I'll be back overseas or when I'll see these people again, so I hold onto the memories from these trips. It took me forever, but I'm glad I finally got all of these posts up so I can remember everything just a little bit better, for longer.
Hopefully you enjoyed these posts - if you made it through how crazy long they are!

Join the 43rd Annual Conference planners for an informal and informative discussion about the upcoming conference in Fort Worth.
Assistant Librarian, Yale Center for British Art Reference Library and Archives
When I first discovered ARLIS/NA as a graduate student in the School of Information and Library Science at UNC-Chapel Hill, I felt somewhere between disbelief and elation: an entire society dedicated to art librarianship?!? How incredible! I first participated locally within my school's division and then quickly joined ARLIS/NA before graduating my program in 2010. I found the list-serv to be of exponential help and importance as I navigated through a new career, and I even found the listing for my current position posted there!
The Education Subcommittee of the Professional Development Committee (PDC), with the Diversity Committee and the Mentoring Subcommitee of the PDC, will present the second of two webinars with leadership and strategy consultant DeEtta Jones, " Developing Intercultural Competence with DeEtta Jones", on February 10, 2015, at 2:30 p.m. ET.
The Mentoring Subcommittee is accepting applications for the 10th Annual Career Mentoring Program. The yearlong program begins with a workshop at the 43rd annual conference in Fort Worth, Texas, and continues until the 2016 Seattle conference. The program has matched dozens of art library professionals in successful mentoring relationships and contributes to the wonderful bonds of cordial collegiality for which the society is known.

|Above: Jennifer Riley's "Fire-Fangled Feathers'' at Carroll and Sons. Top right: Elizabeth Alexander's "Welder's Daughter'' at Bromfield Gallery.
Flying off the edges of the expected
Jennifer Riley shows her newest leaps in line and color
Jennifer Riley has cut loose. The painter, who lived for a time in Boston and now resides in New York, seems to have a show here every four or five years. In between, her imagery moves forward in great, long leaps. She went from stripe paintings to geometric abstractions that featured fractal-like patterns, all straight edges and angles. Now, in her show at Carroll and Sons, Riley leaves straight lines behind for giddy, tangling loop-de-loops. The previous works were contemplative and smart - and, a Riley constant, pulsing with throat-catching color - but these feel as if she has broken out of a rectilinear box and is dancing with newfound freedom.
These works are no doubt every bit as carefully plotted as the striped and patterned paintings. We get a glimpse into her process with several smaller sketches in pastel. There's a "Young Galaxy'' pastel here, and the resulting "Young Galaxy'' oil. The pastel could be a preschooler's refrigerator art, ecstatically messy, with drooping fronds of royal blue, green, purple, and red over meandering scribbles in yellow and pink. There's a surrealist quality of automatic drawing, and it's loaded with the brawny gestures of abstract expressionism.
In the "Young Galaxy'' painting, everything snaps into place. The overflowing form remains, but here the droops are galvanized by crisp double lines careening around the canvas. There's not nearly as much blue, yet there are many shades of it, from powder to navy. The swooping, snarling lines reach toward the edge of the canvas, but don't quite touch it, and make a barely contained storm. In between them, Riley fills spaces with colors, yummy as a free-for-all at a sorbet stand.
The lines fly off the edges of "Fire-Fangled Feathers,'' the largest piece at 90 inches by 66 inches. This format allows Riley to play with space. The double lines cross under and over, inevitably suggesting room to tangle. But when she fills in many of the interstices with flat, albeit luscious colors - plum, tangerine, magenta - the space collapses. That tension, plus the sheer audacity of gesture and the breathless movement it engenders, makes for exuberant paintings.
Density and delicacy
"Welder's Daughter: Safe & Powerless,'' Elizabeth Alexander's show at Bromfield Gallery, blends the heft and utility of welders' tools with a feminine delicacy. Alexander cuts lacy patterns into leather protective gear in "Jacket & Bib.'' For "Anvil,'' she mimics the shape of that tool in precisely paned glass, transforming the heavy object into something light and translucent.
In some of these works, the delicacy comes across as protected vulnerability. But in others, such as "Monkey Wrench,'' a wrench swaddled in lacy cut paper, it may be ladylike, but it's defiant. "Face Shield'' features carved and etched ornate designs in a welder's clear safety mask, topped with precisely cut paper feathering everywhere, making a bold warrior headdress. "Safe & Powerless'' is not the most accurate description of these works. Subversive and sly - that's more like it.
Also at Bromfield, Nancy Diessner has put together "Printed Green,'' an exhibit of art by printmakers who work at the Zea Mays Printmaking studio in Florence, Mass. They all buck traditional printmaking practices, which often employ toxic chemicals and solvents, to use safer, greener products. I can't say that I see any difference; the tones are no less rich and deep.
It's also just a good show. Prints often seem less immediate than paintings or photographs, perhaps because printmaking is so laborious and process-oriented. Images can still be strident - the muscular black vortex of Carolyn Webb's big, untitled woodcut attests to that - but it also holds a sense of history and hard work. Victoria Burge's intaglio prints "Montana Day'' and "Montana Night'' feature the same black mountainous landscape, one under a white sky traced with a network of radiant black lines, the other under a black sky traced with white. For smallish prints, these aptly capture Big Sky Country.
Wondering underwater
The summery show "Aquatic'' at FP3 Gallery is a refreshing diversion: three photographers working with water. My favorite is William Hamlin, who shoots tiled swimming tools, then cuts and weaves the photos, as in "Pool Step on Right.'' We see ripples, and the sunlight trampolining off the water surface, and shadows moving over the tiled pool bottom, which has its own geometric pattern. The weaving breaks up yet also reconnects the imagery, which is already a midsummer's dream.
Also on view, Lora Brody's pinhole photos of swimmers underwater. Several of them are strategically installed to make a cohesive whole that shows off her abstract mindset: blurry fractions of bodies cutting shapes against an aqua ground. Thom Lussier shoots underwater and prints on chiffon, which drapes and sags nicely in a way that complements his imagery. His "Underneath #4: Flotsam & Jetsam'' depicts most of a slender woman in a billowing orange-gold skirt, floating in a seated position near the sandy bottom of emerald water. As with Brody's swimmers, the frame cuts off the figure - we see her body tilting in the water, not her head, and consequently the image is less a story than a coalescence of light and shape, and the otherworldliness of underwater.

Man indicted on child porn charges after 30K images, videos found on laptops
PORTLAND, Ore. —
A 49-year-old man has been indicted on child pornography charges after a cyber tip led to the discovery of more than 30,000 pictures and videos of child sex abuse.
The Multnomah County District Attorney's Office announced the grand jury indictment against Shawn Martin after a video uploading website discovered that a user was posting child pornography to his account.
Court documents say a cyber tip led to the search and seizure of Martin's two laptops.
Martin was on post-prison supervision for several prior sex crimes convictions.
According to a probable cause affidavit filed in Multnomah County Circuit Court on Friday, April 13, a digital forensic exam of the laptops revealed more than 30,000 images and videos of children in sexually explicit situations, including kids being raped and molested by adults. The age of the depicted children ranged from infants (less than a year old) to toddlers (between two and four years old) to prepubescent children (between five and 11 years old).
Court documents also say that Martin's laptops contained written stories of child molestation fantasies that were downloaded from the internet, written manuals that gave tips on how to have sexual encounters with children, and other explicit writings.
Martin's next court appearance is scheduled for Monday, April 23 at 9:30 a.m.

Ang, I don't know what to recommend! Maybe, take out all of it--the pins and the stabilizing stitches in a small area. Quilt it and then move to next area. How does that sound?ReplyDelete
It is very beautiful, and the only way I noticed the little wrinkles was because you pointed them out. Otherwise I would have never known. It is gorgeous. Stopping by from Free Motion Quilting.ReplyDelete

This is a great project; sorry to hear about the problems with the basting. If you started in the middle with your stitching, I think I'd consider taking out all the basting and re-smoothing/re-basting it. It is such a lot of work, but if it will bother you if you don't do it.... Good luck!ReplyDelete
I think you're on crack..I didn't notice till you pointed it out. They will press out. Beautiful quilting!ReplyDelete

The location
Smack bang in the middle of the midtown district of Manhattan on the corner of Madison Avenue and 29th Street. A great place for feeling like you're at the centre of the action and handy for exploring both downtown and uptown by cab or subway.
We like
The lobby is imposing and impressive, all swirling staircases, brass, chocolate and beige leather. Elegant and formal without being stiff or old-fashioned.
Not so keen
No one seemed to work there. When my suitcase got caught in the revolving door, no one came to my aid. On struggling free, all US dress size 2 of me had to carry my 22kg suitcase down a long, spiralling staircase to reception as again there was no one around to help. In a land known for its service, it was, well, appalling.
The rooms
New York hotel rooms are notoriously small and this was no different. The recent refurbishment by David Rockwell of The Rockwell Group has given the rooms a modern classic look and pleasing design. The minimal space has been cunningly used: the room feels neither cluttered nor prison cell-like. The biggest problem was the "view" – a brick wall about 3ft away. If they give such a room to a journalist reviewing the hotel, goodness knows what ordinary customers get.
The other guests
Mostly European with French and German accents. Of the British guests most were couples on a NYC mini-break rather than repeat business types.
The service
I didn't actually see enough employees to be able to make a fair comment, which says it all really. For all its glamorous new fixtures and fittings, which make it look like a top hotel, the service was more like you'd expect from a bottom-end motel.
The food and drink
The Michelin-starred Country is a stylish modern eatery which includes a café, Champagne lounge and formal restaurant. The café has all-American classics from grits to pancakes, while the restaurant, headed by the chef Geoffrey Zakarian, offers a French-American à la carte menu which is more appetising than it sounds.
The details

Blood flow through the ophthalmic veins during exercise in humans
Masami Hirashita 1, Osamu Shido 2, and Minoru Tanabe 2

2 Department of Physiology, School of Medicine, Kanazawa University, Takara-machi, Kanazawa 920, Japan
Summary. The blood from the face flows into the intracranium
through the ophthalmic veins when human
subjects become hyperthermic. To investigate a possible
mechanism underlying this change in direction of
flow, five young men were subjected to either passive
body warming or exercise on a cycle ergometer, in a
climatic chamber whose air temperature and relative
humidity were 28 ° C and 40%. Tympanic (Try) and oesophageal
temperatures, forehead sweat rate (rhsw), skin
blood flow. (Qsk) and blood flow through the ophthalmic
vein (Qov) were measured, and the mean skin (Tsk)
and mean body (Tb) temperatures were computed. Passive
body warming was induced by a box-shaped body
warming unit enclosing all but the subject's head. Exercise
was performed either at an intensity of 60% maximal
oxygen consumption or with the intensity increasing
in increments. During both tests, rhsw and Qsk
started to increase shortly after the imposition of the
heat load. The Qov began to change with the venous
blood flowing from the face into the intracranium and
a complete reversal in the direction of Qov (from the
face to the intracranium), came significantly later than
the increases in rh~w and Qsk. The Tty at the time of flow
reversal was the same in both tests. The T~k (and hence
Tb) at flow reversal was, however, significantly higher
during passive body warming than during .exercise. The
mechanism for switching the direction of Qov appeared
to have been triggered by a high temperature in the
brain, and not by thermal input from the periphery of
the body. In a febrile subject who volunteered for this
study, the direction of Qov was consistently inwards
even when sitting quietly. From these results, we suggest
that there are elements within the brain that control
the mechanisms for switching the direction of venous
flow through the emissary veins to keep the brain
cool during hyperthermia.
Key words: Passive body warming - Cycle exercise -
Emissary veins - Flow reversal - Tympanic temperature
- Oesophageal temperature
Offprint requests to: M. Hirashita
Brain tissues are more vulnerable to heat than the other
organs in the body (Bowler and Tirri 1974; Shibolet et
al. 1976). When body core temperature increases, venous
blood cooled in the upper respiratory tracts and
the surface of the face enters into the cavernous sinus
through the ophthalmic veins (OV), which can keep
brain temperature lower than the other core temperature.
Such a phenomenon, called selective brain cooling,
has been shown to exist in many species of animals
including human subjects (Baker 1982; Cabanac and
Caputa 1979a, b; Caputa 1980; Caputa et al. 1983).
During normothermia, however, venous blood from the
nasal mucosa has been found to drain into the caval
veins through the facial veins and bypass the cavernous
sinus (Johnsen et al. 1987). Venous blood from the
nasal mucosa could flow either through the facial veins
or through the angularis oculi veins which connect with
the OV. Thus, some mechanism may exist that switches
the direction of venous flow to the facial veins or to the
angularis oculi veins, according to the thermal state of
the body. Johnsen et al. (1987) have shown that in reindeer,
a segment of the facial vein strongly constricts
during heat stress resulting in the return of cool venous
blood from the nasal mucosa, routed directly to the
cavernous sinus through the OV. This switching of direction
in venous blood flow has also been suggested in
human subjects. Caputa et al. (1978) have reported that
venous blood from the face flows through the OV to the
cavernous sinus during hyperthermia and from the intracranium
to the face during hypothermia. The observation
is consistent with the report made by Cabanac
and Brinnel (1985).
Muscle work produces a great amount of heat in the
body and subsequently elevates body temperature. The
occurrence of selective brain cooling during exercise
has also been postulated in animals (Cabanac 1986;
Caputa et al. 1983) and human subjects (Cabanac and
Caputa 1979a, b; Hirata et al. 1987). The hypothalamic
temperature of guinea pigs was shown to become lower
than the trunk temperature by 1.5-1.6°C during exercise.

The normal negative temperature gradient within the skin of the cheek was reversed by simultaneously heating the skin externally with an infrared lamp and cooling it internally, inside the mouth, with ice. Cutaneous blood flow was measured locally under four different conditions: negative and positive gradient of local skin temperature in hypothermia and hyperthermia. There were no significant differences between negative and positive skin temperature gradients. Cutaneous blood flow depended on the core body temperature. These results show that the local skin temperature gradient can not induce vasomotor responses.

I love so many books as a kid. I used to do the Barnes and Noble reading program when I was a kid and get a free book and loved it. A Wrinkle in Time,The Westing Game,Harry Potter,The Chronicles of Narnia and the American Girl books were some of my childhood favorites.ReplyDelete
I'd love to hear what you thought of the book or others you think I will like! Please share your thoughts! Thank you for the thought, but I am not participating in awards.

The President employs the internal auditor to direct a broad, comprehensive program of internal auditing within the University. Internal auditing is a managerial control which functions by measuring and evaluating the effectiveness of other financial and managerial controls.
Objective and Scope
The objective of the Office of Internal Audit and Management Analysis ("Office") is to assist the President and institutional administrators in the effective discharge of their responsibilities by furnishing them with analyses, appraisals, recommendations, and pertinent comments concerning the activities reviewed. The attainment of this objective includes:
The Office is authorized by the President to conduct a comprehensive program of internal auditing. To accomplish its objectives, the internal auditor is authorized to have full, free, and unrestricted access to all University activities, records, properties, and personnel.
The Office reports to the President and the Regents Audit Committee. However, for day to day activities the internal auditor works with the Vice President for Finance and Administration and attends the Vice President's staff meetings as an invited guest.
Each year the Office will develop and execute an audit plan. A report on the internal audit function will be provided to the President at the end of the fiscal year. The report will include a discussion of the subsequent year's annual audit plan, review of previous year's audits that were completed, those in progress, and those which were scheduled but not performed. The report will also include follow-up reviews on the status of prior audit recommendations.
Progress reports on internal audit activities will be provided to the President during the fiscal year. In addition, progress reports will be provided to the Regents Audit Committee at the scheduled Regents meetings.
In performance of their functions, internal audit staff have no direct responsibility for, nor authority over, any of the activities and operations reviewed.

Nokia Lumia 720 Video Review
Hello Everyone,
Lumia 720 is a mid ranged windows phone 8 phone from nokia with a very solid build quality. Nokia has always been known to produce the most durable phones and although nokia sales have been going down but they are definitely not compromising on the quality. Nokia Lumia 720 has a unibody construction with 4.3 inch scratch resistant gorilla glass display.
Below is the first part of the video review of Nokia Lumia 720 in urdu
Nokia Lumia 720 Video Review from PhoneGuru Reviews on Vimeo.
It is only 9mm thick and weighs around 128 grams. Lumia 720 also has a very responsive and highly sensitive touch screen which you can also operate with gloves on.
Below are the brief specs of Nokia Lumia 720
- 1 ghz dual core Krait Qualcomm processor
- 512 mb RAM
- 8 GB Internal Memory
- 4.3 inch IPS LCD Display with clear black technology
- 6.7 MP camera with f/1.9 aperture.
- NFC , bluetooth and FM support
Although at the first glance you would say that 512 MB RAM is too low with only dual core processor and if you compare with android phones with dual core and 512 mb RAM which costs more then half this price. But nokia Lumia 720 has a Qualcomm processor vs media tek processors used in cheaper phones. Also since windows phone 8 is a much faster OS . therefore even 512 mb RAM performance pretty good on this one.
Nokia Lumia 720 Video Review : Part 2 from PhoneGuru Reviews on Vimeo.
In the Next part we should you the gaming performance of Lumia 720, Lumia 720 performance in games was average . We tested template run , need for speed ans ashpalt 7. We experience some slight lags in temple run after playing it for few minutes. It seems fine in the start but as you play and cover some distance you start getting some lags.
Nokia Lumia 720 Video Review : Part 3 from PhoneGuru Reviews on Vimeo.
Nokia Lumia 720 has a pretty decent camera with 6.7 mega pixel with Carl Zeiss lens, a good-sized F1.9 aperture, LED flash and autofocus. Its camera can easily be compared with most of the 8 mega pixel camera available out there.
Browser performance is very smooth on nokia lumia 720 , Its really charm to browse the websites and with its deep integration with social media websites its a huge plus.
Nokia Lumia 720 Video Review : Part 4 from PhoneGuru Reviews on Vimeo.
In the Final part of the video review I give you a brief over view of windows phone 8 and Final remarks on the phone. In short if gaming is not your domain and you are new to smartphones , you will love Lumia 720. It has a very smooth and fluid interface , does lag at all and has good battery performance as well. If you shifting from android or iOS , then you will need some time to get used to Windows Phone 8. But once you get to know Lumia 720 , you will love it.
So in short if you are looking for a great , lag free smart phone experience with a good camera and battery life. Then lumia 720 is a good choice.

Healthy Recipes that Taste Delicious!
Are you cooking for picky eaters? Anjali knows how to make recipes healthier and keep her family happy.
When Anjali started cooking for her husband, she found herself trying to make healthier recipes that still tasted delicious. She talks about healthy eating and gives us advice to staying healthy. Check out her best recipe creations that are nutritious and yummy!
What is your food philosophy?
When people think of being a "picky eater," they think of the little kid who doesn't want to eat anything except ice cream for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. But I define the picky eater philosophy as being something very different. Being a "Picky Eater" is about being mindful of what you put into your body and consuming processed foods in moderation. Eating healthy is usually associated with tasteless food, but to me, Picky Eating is healthy eating that's delicious, easy to make, and satisfying.
What has inspired you to eat healthy? What advice can you give to others who are trying to be healthy?
I was lucky enough to be raised with parents who had a lot of knowledge about healthy food, so it was just a "way of life" for me from an early age. That being said, I'm inspired to continue to eat healthy because of the way it makes me feel. I've noticed that when I end up eating a lot more of the "junky" processed foods that I have less energy and I feel more run down than when I'm eating healthier. So it definitely gives me motivation to eat healthy most of the time!
In term of advice, the biggest piece of advice I can give is to start small, focus on small changes you can permanently integrate into your life (for example, making some simple healthy changes like whole grains for refined grains, using less oil/butter/cheese in your recipes, or adding in more veggies to your meals). Don't completely deprive yourself and cut out everything at once. And if you do end up indulging, try not to feel guilty or be too hard on yourself! No one is perfect 100% of the time. I try to follow an 80/20 rule – eat healthy 80% of the time, and leave 20% of your food to minor indulgences – like that piece of chocolate at the end of a meal.
There are so many delicious recipes on your site! What are your go-to recipes when you want a healthy snack?
My healthy snacks are super simple, no-cook recipes that I can take with me when I'm on-the-go. Right now I'm really into fresh fruit (berries and apples are my favorites) mixed in 0% Greek Yogurt with a drizzle of honey. Carrot / celery sticks and hummus are a close second! And you can't really go wrong with fresh fruit in general – apples are great because they don't perish quickly and are pretty durable too. Here is a list of my 20 favorite healthy snacks that are easy to make and transport, and are family-friendly!
Which healthy recipes do you recommend for kids?
I like recommending recipes for kids that are easy to eat, that don't have too many strong/pungent flavors, but are still super healthy!
For breakfast, I love my Strawberry Shortcake Oatmeal or my Chocolate Brownie Oatmeal. Both are incredibly nutritious but you would never know it, especially since they sound and taste like dessert!
If you want to try to sneak more greens into your child's diet, this Green Smoothie might just do the trick. You can't taste the kale at all!
And for lunch or dinner, I like creating recipes that gets kids involved in the kitchen. With these Homemade Whole Wheat Pita Pizzas, kids can create their own and choose their toppings! Same goes for this Veggie Chili – you can make a healthy toppings bar and everyone can pick what they like. Lastly, if you're looking for a twist on the traditional sandwich, try these Southwestern Veggie Burgers or Falafel Pita Pockets. I hope you enjoy them!
Meet the blogger:
Here's a little bit about my story: I grew up a "whole wheat" girl, but I married a "white bread" kind of guy. I was raised in the healthy-eating, organic-obsessed, farmer's market-driven culture of the San Francisco Bay Area; he grew up in the deep-dish pizza-loving suburbs of Chicago. My childhood was filled with fruits, vegetables, and home cooked meals–I was raised to be "picky" about what I put into my body and to eat junk food in moderation. For him, ice cream and french fries were a way of life. When most people get married, they worry about things like money or in-laws. But when we got married, the question was: What would the picky eater and her fast food husband eat for dinner? I realized that the only way I would be able to bridge the gap between my husband's "white bread" world and my "wheat bread" world would be to cook healthy versions of foods that my husband enjoyed. And so, at the age of 24, I taught myself to cook.
Gradually, I started making healthier swaps in my husband's diet, "sneaking" in the good stuff without him noticing. Slowly but surely he began to identify different flavors like cumin, ginger, and garlic, and he even started asking for vegetables in his dishes! He said it was because he learned that healthy food could taste good, which meant the world to me.
My husband has been a great "guinea pig" for testing out my recipes – and between his picky palate and my picky food preferences, I can pretty much guarantee that all of the recipes you will find on my blog are delicious!
My blog was inspired by my husband's transformation from a "white bread eating," fast-food-loving" guy to one that actually eats healthy food now. But my blog was also inspired by my own transformation: from a girl who grew up in a health-conscious household, to the college student that indulged and "fell off the wagon", to the new graduate that learned to be "picky" about what she put into her body, to the wife that learned to cook and used her "picky eater" philosophy to help her husband eat healthier.

Dear Friends
I am honored this year to serve as the Community Campaign Chair for the Craven Community College Foundation. Last year, because of generous gifts from individuals and institutions in our community, $212,178 in scholarship assistance was awarded to 373 students. The number of well-deserving students who need our help is great. Our challenge is to meet that need.
Like so many others, I, too, started at a community college. Smaller class size with personal attention provided by smart, talented, caring instructors were exactly what I needed before heading to N.C. State to obtain my degree. I credit my community college experience with setting me on the path to a rewarding career.
As a businessman in New Bern, I have taken a great deal of pride in encouraging dozens of young people to achieve their dreams by furthering their education. Some have chosen two-year training opportunities at Craven Community College so that they can immediately enter the workforce. Others have selected university transfer programs. Without exception, they have all found the tools needed at Craven to achieve their goals.
We live in a loving and caring community. I can think of no finer way to serve our community than to help educate its citizens.
Join me in supporting the efforts of this annual campaign.
Because of you, the lives of many will be changed forever. Give Today!
Thank you,
Owner, Mitchell Hardware
Foundation Board Member and Campaign Chair

Core Holes At Long Valley Caldera Geothermal Area (Benoit, 1984)
From Open Energy Information
Exploration Activity: Core Holes At Long Valley Caldera Geothermal Area (Benoit, 1984)
|Exploration Activity Details
|Long Valley Caldera Geothermal Area
|Exploration Technique
|Core Holes
|Activity Date
|1982 - 1982
Several core holes were also drilled in the caldera's west moat by Phillips Petroleum Company in 1982, including:
- PLV-1, drilled to approximately 711 m depth
- PLV-2, drilled to approximately 640 m depth.
The PLV-1 and PLV-2 wells represent some of the first intermediate-depth holes drilled into the caldera's west moat and provide temperature, lithologic, and geochemical data for this area that were previously unavailable. The maximum temperature encountered in PLV-1 was about 125°C and about 50°C in PLV-2. Temperature gradients in both wells were favorable; however, the shallow depths of these wells prohibit accurate prediction of reservoir temperatures with increased depth below the west moat. Assuming no temperature reversal were to occur beneath the west moat and gradients remain consistent with depth, reservoir temperatures of 218-288°C in the Bishop Tuff or early rhyolite were predicted for PLV-1, consistent with chemical geothermometer temperature estimates for the hole.

Wherever I go it is mostly the teens who find out diet tips. I'm myself a teen and I know the real reason individuals want to get slim. After all, everyone knows why teens want as slim through meals. But not everyone can give diet points to consider teens. I'm attain a great master or a doctor but I'm a youngster and I already been following a strict diet recently which has helped me become slim. What you'll read below is the top 7 diet tips for teens who really need to get slim. Keep reading and you possibly be happy you got.
Drink much less 64 ounces of pure, clean water every day. Avoid carbonated beverages and sodas. I agree with the clique you can be what consume. I would also add, "You are your diet plan and how much you exercise." This might all sound like several to alter in your diet, but if one makes just an changes every week, you may invariably begin in adding healthy eating traits and will be going to closer into the flat belly and leaner, stronger technique.
Get some baggies or small containers to store them throughout the. But there are limits to this strategy.

When people come to your web site what is it you want them to do? Do you want them to sign up for your blog? Do you want them to visit your store? Do you want them to download your music? Your web site should be designed with one primary purpose. Yes, it can talk about your history and the management team and how you always knew you wanted to be the world's best builder of gingerbread houses since you were eight years old and your grandmother taught you her secret gingerbread recipe but those are the extras. They are the background. They should not be front and center.
Go take a look at Stephen King's web site. What's the first thing you notice? The new book, right? Front and center is the new book. Not a picture of Stephen King. Not a photograph of his cat. Not a google ad. His web site is dedicated to his work. Yes, you can find out about Stephen King, and lots of people are interested in Stephen King, but King and his team know that the purpose of his web site is to promote and sell his books, movies and television programs. So, learn a lesson from Stephen King. Your web site isn't about you. It's about your work.
When I started writing my plays one of the things I knew I wanted was a web page. A place in cyber space where I could make my plays available to the world whether the world wanted them or not. And early on I decided that I would hire someone who could create a well-designed simple web site that had a consistent look and feel. I found someone: Shaila Abdullah. It took me more than three years to find her but find her I did. It was a long journey. A journey where I did a lot of planning, thinking, and looking.
I looked at hundreds of author web sites including Stephen King, Norm Foster, Ken Ludwig and Theresa Rebeck, in order to see what they were doing. I also spent a lot of time thinking about the purpose of my web site and how I wanted it to function and how I would use it as a marketing platform and how I would integrate social media and whether or not I should do a blog and if I do a blog how often should I blog and what should I blog about. And finally I did some planning. I created a design document that outlined the purpose of my web site and how I wanted it to function.
Then last fall I stumbled across a web site called, Funds for Writers. I liked the look of it and saw that it was designed by Shaila Abdullah. Shaila is not only a designer but a writer. Yes a writer! An award winning writer. A writer of novels and short stories. And I thought – ah here's someone who not only designs web sites but understands the needs and challenges of being a writer and trying to get your work out into the world.
So I checked out her company: My House of Design and took a look at her portfolio. I loved her work. So, I revised, my design document and contacted her for a quote. That was almost a year ago and in that time we've worked together to create jameshutchison.ca. It's been a fantastic experience. I like working with Shaila because it's her company and she's the designer. When I send an e-mail or have a question I send it to her. She doesn't have to check with anyone. She's the boss – she's the designer – she's the one that gets back to me.
Shaila has offered suggestions and recommendations but always respected my wants and needs as a client. It's been a complete pleasure working with her. She has a great eye for design and colour and consistency of brand. And her sense of humour and positive spirit has made the whole process a pleasure.
So, if you've written your novel or your play or your poem and you're ready to build your web site and make your work available to the world there's no one I'd recommend more to help you with that task than Shaila Abdullah. She's a terrific designer, highly professional, and extremely creative. And she does more than just writers. You can check out more of Shaila's work at myhouseofdesign.com.

Former Bush Senior Advisor Karl Rove praised "Clinton Cash" author Peter Schweizer on Monday's "On the Record" on the Fox News Channel.
"Peter Schweizer, is a very meticulous, detail oriented person. He's got a good reputation as a conscientious researcher, and a careful writer, and my suspicion is that when this book is fully revealed on May 5th, this going to cause a lot of indigestion inside Clinton world" he stated.
He added, "one other controversy, may be covered in the book, but if not, I think it will naturally flow from the book, and that is what has this Foundation done to basically provide the lifestyle of the Clintons?" And "there are no boundaries between this charitable foundation and her political ambitions."

text: Hey, I experience (of course^^) some slow-downs in different games on my original (yes it is) R4 (with YSMenu) and I often heard it is because of the SD-cards reading-speed. Average SD-cards like mine (a 2GB Kingston, formatted with Panasonic SDFormatter) got a reading-speed of about 10mb/s, but there are cards on the market up to 15mb/s (for SDHC I found even 30mb/s, but the R4 can't read them). So I just wanted to know if buying (and using) a new SD-card with a reading-speed of about 15mb/s would reduce the slow-downs or if the R4 wouldn't read faster even if I buy a faster one? If it's the second I would have to buy a flash-card with internal flash-memory, but that would be much more expensive than a faster SD-card. I would be very thankful if someone could gimme a helpful answer. And please, don't flame the R4 here like in much other threads, thank you.^^ Yours sincerely, lsp_kill

My only regret: waiting so long to make the purchase!
After seeing the infomercial about a thousand times,
& becoming sick of wasting money on all these other products
that just DIDN'T work..I decided to cave in & see what it was REALLY like.
Might I just say, I am SO very glad I did!
It's literally changed my life,
allowing me to be proud, not ashamed, of my skin.<3
Might I just say, I am SO very glad I did!
It's literally changed my life,
allowing me to be proud, not ashamed, of my skin.<3
I have very very very very fair skin,
zero makeup in the stores matches my tone perfectly,
so I either look even MORE pale, like a ghost.
or, have an orange hue that ends at the neck line.
Yeah, that's attractive.
Not to mention, how most didn't even completely cover..
and those that did, were SO heavy, you could totally tell,
and I felt like I had 5 pounds of paste all over my face;
not at all a fun feeling or sexy look.
I ordered from:
I just adore the site design,
professional, but cute. adorable girly colors, and very easy to navigate!!
Ordering was easy, and signing up, a quick breeze!
PLUS, now that I'm a member I get AMAZING discounts on all products sold!!
I can also customize the orders that come to my house each month! (awesome<3)
It shipped fast.
I had it within 4 days (and that was including a weekend!)
& it came cuddled inside the cutest bubble envelope!:
I received:
1.) Fairly light mineral concealer/foundation
2.) Mineral Veil
3.) Warmth
4.) Full face brush
5.) Max coverage brush
6.) Mascara
I am TOTALLY in LOVE with the fact this makeup is both
a 1.)CONCEALER & FOUNDATION!
a 1.)CONCEALER & FOUNDATION!
& the fact it actually improves your skin,
ever since I started using it, break outs are practically non-existent. (no exaggeration!)
4.) The brushes are fantastic,
perfect for applying, and buffing right into the skin..
and tiny enough to toss into a makeup bag and go!
4.) The brushes are fantastic,
perfect for applying, and buffing right into the skin..
and tiny enough to toss into a makeup bag and go!
2.) MINERAL VEIL is my favorite part,
after adding that, my skin seems to just glow!
& 3.)Warmth is just a great dab of color, which I def. need! :p
(she has other blushes in a variety of colors, I plan on getting one or two!)
I also have the PRIME TIME product,
the silky gel you put on right before you use the makeup,
to smooth your skin and give you a flawless finish!
(I love how it makes my face feel so soft)
I've always had problems with my skin,
uneven tone, purple bags under the eyes, random breakouts, and bad scars..
this seems to erase them all, without looking fake, or hiding my frekles!
How it does it, I have no idea, but I'm in love..
and so so so wish I had been using this way back when I was in high school!
My overal rating?? 5 STARS!!
I'm sure it'll totally change your views on makeup,
and you'll never want to use another one ever again!

Left, Right, Left, Right……..forward march.. Gajendran started his usual evening walk with his wife, inside the MOP Park. This has been his usual routine for the past five years. His Doctor's advice. "You have turned forty years Gajendran. Don't miss even a day. This one hour walk will reduce your cholesterol and BP, and reduce my Bill." Gajendran took this advice seriously from day one. At seven in the evening he would even miss wearing his shoes, but would never miss his wife accompanying him in his walk. They held hands together and walked with such force and vigour that passers-by could feel air gushing out by the swing of their hands. Today was no different except that it was a bit more crowded, since it was Saturday evening.
The Park Garden had a nice stretch and the right mix of greenery and plants laid out on both sides. Gajendran was unusually walking faster today, since he had to catch the 11 pm Mangalore Mail. His grip on his wife's hand was a bit harsh, and at times she yelled out in pain.
As they took the final bend, the lights in the park flickered once, then again, then it went out. Complete black out. Gajendran didn't see the manhole in front, and tripped and fell down, but luckily he rolled over and didn't hurt himself. He got up, rather fast, did not wait to clean up, then caught his wife's hand and started walking much faster. Now he was nearly in jogging mode. She shouted " Ouch ", "What is this". "Ooh " As Gajendran was reaching the exit gate, there was a crowd of policemen checking everybody. Gajendran instantly knew the cause of the search. One smart policeman came forward and blocked Gajendran and smiled sarcastically. He said " Look Mr. You look pretty decent. Where do you work? It is only 7.30, and how dare you can do this in this public park. Look at your age. You must be forty and she must be twenty. How dare you can bring girls inside the park and do "Jalsa". You should set an example for youngsters. OK. Walk to that Mobile Court. The Judge is waiting. We don't have time."
Gajendran turned to look at his wife and was horrified. "Oh God, Sorry, What have I done, Sorry who are you?". The dark girl with full make up splashed all over her face was fuming. She slapped Gajendran and said " You idiot, You have dragged me for nearly ten minutes, in this useless garden , just to drop me in the mobile court. Now go there and pay the fine."
Gajendran was nearly crying now, and his phone was vibrating along with him. He took it out and the screen read " Thirty eight missed calls".
His wife was waiting at the entrance gate. Thirty eight missed calls in ten minutes. She was wondering what was going on.

In late 2015 a political action committee (PAC) was formed to address campaign finance reform. The PAC, called End Citizens United, planned to support Democratic candidates in key races across the nation who had pledged to this type of reform in their campaign promises. In the first month alone it gathered over $2 million in donations from grassroots supporters and expected to raise $25 million to $30 million overall during the 2016 presidential election cycle.
End Citizens United is an organization that seeks to overturn the Supreme Court's Citizens United decision which resulted in political campaigns becoming awash in money given by corporations and rich people who seek to have politicians elected will benefit them in office. The 2010 decision was that corporations are people and any restraint on their ability to give money to political campaigns was an unconstitutional restraint on their right to free speech. The end result that End Citizens United seeks is a constitutional amendment that reverses that decision and once again puts sensible restraints on what any one entity can give to a politician's campaign.
The way that End Citizens United operates to overturn the Supreme Courts decision is different than other similar groups. They recognize that in order to achieve their mission they need to help elect politicians who agree with what they are trying to accomplish. A constitutional amendment faces high hurdles as it must be passed by both the Senate and Congress by a large percentage of representatives as well as being ratified by 75% of states which is why End Citizens United focuses its efforts on politicians who want to pass this legislation.
While End Citizens United did raise $25 million in the 2016 election cycle, they are on pace to surpass that amount for the 2018 midterm elections. In the first three months of 2017, they had already raised over $4 million. They are expecting to raise $35 million in all for the midterms which will be a huge increase over what they achieved in the last election cycle.
So far more than 100,000 small donors have contributed to End Citizens United. The average amount of money donated is about $12 and comes in from regular citizens across the United States. People have begun to recognize that the entire system is stacked against them and in favor of those who have huge sums of money. Corporation and wealthy people have taken over politics and it's only what they want that gets addressed anymore.
Another factor that is bringing in donations is the reaction to Donald Trump being elected President. People are rightly furious that he won and his agenda which is to benefit rich people at the expense of everyone else.

Jack Austin: "Victoria's Chifley"
An article from the Sandringham News -- Thursday, June 9, 1955
"In the 1933 grand final, hard-hitting, high-flying full-back Austin broke down many an attack on South Melbourne's goal. Today, in a political atmosphere far more tense and critical than any football final, he wears his party's guernsey in the most important electoral battle in the history of the Labor movement.
He's fighting this election the way he played football -- hard and fair. As one of his organisers told his big team of canvassers: "We're kicking against the wind. We're going straight to the goal, and if anybody gets in the way we hit him fair and square, with the shoulders and hips."
The team is putting everything into the biggest and most enthusiastic A.L.P. campaign in the history of the electorate. They're confident, because they have a solid, unspectacular candidate who has already earned himself a reputation in Labor circles as "the Victorian Chifley."
THE PARALLEL between Jack Austin and the late Labor Prime Minister is quite striking, and the longer you look at it, the stronger it gets. For he's a man who has literally lifted himself by his own bootstraps above the disabilities of his environment -- a self-taught, self-made man who, in his story and person, largely typifies Australian Labor. ..."

News to me… Former MadTV cast members, Keegan-Michael Key and Jordan Peele, are getting their very own sketch-comedy series on Comedy Central, scheduled to debut next week Tuesday, January 31, at 10:30pm EST.
Titled Key & Peele, the original sketch-comedy show will feature both comedian/actor/writers "used to being on the outside looking in," and will "examine life in a provocative and irreverent way, through a combination of filmed sketches and live stage segments."
I'm not familiar with their talents, so I can't offer any commentary on what you can expect from this new series. I just hope that they're funny! :)
I'll leave the opinions to those of you who have watched and know more about these felas and their abilities.
